Chronic Illness

A community/support group for chronically ill people. While anyone is welcome, our number one priority is keeping this a safe space for chronically ill people.

Rules

  1. Be excellent to each other
  2. Absolutely no ableism.
  3. No quackery. Does an up-to date major review in a big journal or a major government guideline come to the conclusion you’re claiming is fact? No? Then don’t claim it’s fact. This applies to potential treatments and disease mechanisms.
  4. No denying or minimising challenges faced by chronically ill people. This is a support group, not a place for people to spout their opinions on disability.

I'm literally never fully comfortable. Even with drugs, my special pillow and laying just right I can get down to a 3/10 pain wise. And that's without decadent luxuries like going to the bathroom, which rockets everything up to 6/10 for the next hour.
